Chapter 256 Undercurrent

After agreeing to Du Pingzhi to provide technical information, Li Yan went to other factories with the two of them. Now Taoyuan's industrial supplies can basically be self-sufficient. Although there are still some machinery in trial, they will always be mastered as time goes by. Li Yan is not in a hurry. After all, he can't become a fat man in one bite.

"By the way, is there any news about the prospecting team?" Li Yan asked suddenly when he was about to leave. He thought that he should stop and give Li Yuanchang a little color.

Tong Yu said: "So far, four coal mines have been discovered, which are quite large and have been taken back photos."

Li Yan nodded, "Then you send the specific information to the newspaper and let them make it into newspapers and send it to Chang'an."

"Yes, Your Highness." Tong Yu nodded and said, "When talking about the photos, a black and white camera that a craftsman in Taoyuan is developing has already become famous, and it will probably be produced in a short time."

"Oh, is that?" Li Yan was still very interested in things in this field. For this reason, he specially bought old-fashioned cameras for Taoyuan to dismantle and imitate them. Now he has finally made some progress. "What's the projector researching again?"

"This is a little more difficult, mainly lies in the problem of film. The factory is now studying how to produce film. As long as the film can be produced in large quantities, there is basically no problem. As Your Highness said, it is difficult to go from scratch, but it is easy to go from scratch to imitation, so we don't have to go step by step." Tong Yu sighed.

When the people were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of Taoyuan. Li Yan said, "That's right. Now everything should be based on imitation. You should seek innovation on the basis of imitation. There is no need to start from scratch. It would be too wasteful and meaningless. Just master the specific principles and knowledge. In addition, since you have such an advanced industrial foundation, you should encourage craftsmen to imitate and turn the things in books and teaching videos into physical objects. Don't be afraid of spending money. No matter how poor I am, I will give you funds first."

Li Yan's words made Tong Yu feel warm, and he said, "Your Highness, with your words, Tong Yu dared to let go. Taoyuan will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After patting the two of them on the shoulders, Li Yan said, "You go back. Next time I come, I will prepare something for you, so as not to run here every day in the future."

"What?" Du Pingzhi always curious about the fresh things and asked.

"Radio!" Li Yan showed a row of white teeth, and he felt extremely painful for the backward communication system of the Tang Dynasty. Whether it was the transmission speed of the Shadow Guard's message or the transmission of information from Taoyuan and the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce was very troublesome. With radio, he could contact these two places to inquire about the situation and issue orders at any time. He also checked that in modern times, a simple car-mounted radio could reach 50 kilometers. If this was a larger radio station, wouldn't it cover the entire Yizhou?

They looked at each other and smiled. They had studied the history of technology development and were not unfamiliar with radio. They were both very interested.

When he came back, Li Yan started working on the radio station, but before that, he had to learn how to use the radio station himself, so he took advantage of this time to go back to the modern training class for amateur radio and master the use of the radio station before talking about it...

Since Wang Tao's letter was sent from Yizhou, the Wang family in Taiyuan received his urgent letter in four days, and this letter caused trouble for the Wang family in Taiyuan.

"What should I do? His Highness the King of Shu threw a piece of fat to our Wang family, do you want it or not?" As the patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Pu was very troubled after seeing this letter. He was afraid of offending the princelings and refused. Such a great temptation was placed in front of him, and it made people drool.

The people sitting in the main hall were all well-known figures of the Wang family, which was considered important to the Wang family. At this time, Wang Tao's letters were passed down one by one in their hands.

"The King of Shu is a plan of separation. It is clearly intended to break the alliance between the five surnames and seven hopes and let him benefit from it." said an old man in the hall.

"That's right, but now the King of Shu is powerful, and even the prince is afraid of three points. The five surnames and seven hopes united to fight against him. Until now, they have not gained a single point of profit, but have suffered a lot of secret losses. Moreover, the cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty has led to the rise of some new families and impacting us old families. If this continues, we may not be worth the loss." Another person said.

The two people who spoke were famous elders in the clan. Wang Pu had a headache. Obviously, the Wang family is divided into two factions. He looked at the young man sitting without a leader. He was the most outstanding family child in the Wang family's youth generation. He was named Wang Bing'an. He won the top of the imperial examination this year and was quite liked by Li Shimin in the palace examination. "Dalang, I frowned and thought deeply when I saw you. Do you have any suggestions?"

Wang Bingan stood up, he pursed his lips and pondered: "I have never been optimistic about the union of the five surnames and seven hopes from the beginning."

"Oh, then tell me, why?" Wang Pu asked. Wang Bing'an's words were exactly what he said. After Qiwang joined forces, he began to intrigue about coal. He was furious when he paid for money and was blushing and didn't look like he was united.

Wang Bingan chuckled and said, "I believe that the eighteen princes of the Three Kingdoms have returned in vain after the rebellion against Dong Zhuo. The reason for his failure is nothing more than for their own interests, he refuses to work hard, and even puts shoes on each other, which eventually makes people feel disheartened."

"Now the alliance between the five surnames and seven hopes is just like this. It is not just a struggle for their own interests. What is said in this letter is very clear. The King of Shu once promised the emperor to help other places in the Tang Dynasty develop, and in the north, it is basically the territory of our families, so we can only choose from our families. Moreover, the King of Shu also said that he had a good relationship with the King of the King of the dynasty, so he considered our Wang family. If the Wang family was unwilling, he could find other families." Wang Bing'an frowned, "Elders, if we don't take over this piece of fat, will the other families have to go? Who can guarantee that they will not cooperate with the King of Shu? After all, you know the value of these things."

"What Dalang said is that the Lu family is now ambiguous about Yizhou. The Cui family is now divided into two factions. The Cui family's children who returned from Yizhou are all very supportive of the Shu King of Yizhou and are constantly persuading them in the family. At present, some of them are standing on Cui Shao's side. If Li Yan gives some benefits at this time, Cui Shao may very likely take over the Cui family again." said an elder.

Wang Pu nodded after hearing this, "I'm afraid the King of Shu is already attacking the Cui family. If we accept cooperation, at least one person will not face other families, and the Cui family will be with us."

The elders in the hall nodded in agreement when they heard this.

As Wang Pu guessed, when Wang Tao's letter arrived at the Wang family, a letter also arrived at Cui Shao's mansion.

"The decision of King Shu is really timely. Cui Zhang, please take a look!" Because of the internal struggles of the Cui family, Cui Shao was worried day and night, and his face was still a little ugly, but after seeing this letter, most of the sorrow in his heart suddenly disappeared.

After carefully reading the letter, Cui Zhang was a little excited: "It turns out that the King of Shu has not forgotten us yet and has been preparing for this matter. My uncle might as well release the news now, so that the internal strife in the Cui family may end."

"No, it's not possible yet. Cui Zhang, you guys come back from Yizhou to know the power of the King of Shu, but the gentry in the north, including the Cui family, do not understand it. You should understand that even if Li Chengqian ascends the throne and takes Li Yan, it will be easy for Li Yan to replace him. Therefore, this time we want them to see the power of Yizhou. After this batch of things are shipped, they will plant them on our land. When the day they harvest, they will understand who they should stand on." Cui Shao said seriously.

"Yes, uncle, let me leave this time to Yizhou to buy seeds, and I will definitely get things done." Cui Zhang said.

"Okay!" Cui Shao looked at Cui Zhang with appreciation. If Cui Zhang and his friends had not been supporting him, his life would have been even more sad, so he would have trusted Cui Zhang very much. (To be continued...)
